Great for the US, not so relevant for the UK and showing it's age as a publication.

Very helpful. A little overkill of simplicity in parts, but a useful resource. I got this at the Clarksville Montgomery County Library (797.122 GOR)but plan on buying a copy for myself.

Needs updating. No websites, no talk of recent advances in gear, nothing about GPS.
